Gibberellic Acid (GA3): Role in Growth, Germination and Yield

Gibberellic acid (GA3) is a key phytohormone involved in promoting plant growth, particularly stem elongation and seed germination.
GA3 is associated with:
‣ Stem elongation
‣ Seed germination
‣ Flowering and fruit development
‣ Enzyme activation during germination
It plays a critical role in mobilising stored nutrients in seeds, making it essential for early plant development.

GA3 is sensitive to environmental conditions such as light and pH. Accurate measurement requires careful sample handling and extraction.

GA3 analysis supports:
‣ Agricultural product development
‣ Growth regulator validation
‣ Crop performance optimisation
‣ Quality control of plant treatments
